Reporting on the games made in Canada and the creators behind them
Well, we were late on this one! With Snowman announcing Skate City coming to Consoles soon it seems like their other Apple Arcade game Where Cards Falls is also coming to PC, and Switch in “early 2021”.
Read MoreApple has released its subscription service Apple Arcade on iOS this week and there are a few Canadian-developed games as part of the launch. First up is Where Cards Fall from Los Angeles developer The Game Band and published by Snowman, developers of Alto Adventure.
Read MoreSnowman announced today that Where Cards Fall will be coming Fall 2017 iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac and PC. With the announcement they also delivered a new trailer which you can see below:
Where Cards Fall is a coming of age story where you build houses of cards to move through imaginative puzzles and bring vivid memories of adolescence to life. Coming to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and PC in Fall 2017.
From the blog post, Snowman described the game a bit more in depth:
It may look cinematic, but what you’re seeing here is a real glimpse of our gameplay and story. In Where Cards Fall, you’ll build houses of cards to form and shape the world around you. These houses not only help you move through imaginative puzzles, but also bring to life vivid memories of adolescence.
This particular memory is of teenagehood in the suburbs. Filled with far more cacophonous uncertainty than the playful magic of the forests, the suburbs are home to a crucial question: who will you become? Would you rather remain comfortable at home, or venture into the world outside?
Where Cards Fall is expected to hit PC, Mac, and iOS devices this Fall, so in the meantime, make sure to download the studio's previous game, Alto's Adventure.
Snowman, and The Game Band have released a new teaser trailer for Where Cards Fall.
Read MoreToronto indie developer Snowman had previous announced they're working with The Game Band but didn't say on what. We now know a little bit more on the collaboration as the two announced their new game "Where Cards Fall", but didn't specify a release date, or platform.
From an article that you can read over at The Verge:
When he was still a student at the University of Southern California, [The Game Band's] Sam Rosenthal started working on a game about building a house of cards...The game let you create structures, then break them down so that you could rebuild them in different ways. Rosenthal wanted the deconstruction and reconstruction to gradually tell a coming of age story about the wistfulness of adolescence, and the way important, sometimes devastating events can impact your life.
We'll have to wait a bit longer to find out more about the game, but we do know that Snowman "is helping to refine aspects like the art, design, and marketing"
In the meantime, you can follow the game on Twitter while also following Snowman and The Game Band.
